Liddy should never have promised bonuses using taxpayer money. It’s just plain wrong. You can not reward an employee based on how he/she is doing in one division or whatever if the company is failing...this is what got Wall Street in trouble in the first place.

Then they should have told the people last year that there wouldn't be any retention bonuses. That way nobody would have been working for a salary of $1 in the first place, and anyone who didn't feel he/she was compensated properly would have walked out the door MONTHS AGO.

No doubt, but they were not told...so who’s fault is it? In my opinion, it is the management, what are we supposed to pay bonuses from taxpayer funds for every employee some bailed out exec promised one to?
